Private Oceanfront Cottage w/ Hot Tub - 20 minutes from Halifax
Welcome to the Vík! Located directly on the ocean in beautiful Bayside, Nova Scotia. The cottage is spacious and bright, offering the perfect blend of Scandinavian inspired design and the rustic charm of Nova Scotia. Conveniently located a short 20 minutes to Halifax, 30 minute drive from downtown Halifax and 40 minutes from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport. The Vik is the perfect place to getaway and relax, explore, and make memories with your family and friends year round.
The Vík is perfect for an east coast family getaway—come enjoy panoramic ocean views from the patio and sit by the fire with the ocean at your side. Only minutes away from Granite Springs Golf Course and a quick 15 minute drive to explore Nova Scotia’s most iconic destination, Peggy’s Cove and nearby beaches.
Arriving at the Vík:
Upon arrival, you will be able to use the keyless entry which is integrated to unlock and lock the cottage with ease during your stay. You will enter our bright and airy sunroom where you will have a space to leave your footwear and hang your coat if you please.
The Kitchen:
This is an open concept space and has all of the amenities that you will need to cook a memorable meal for your loved ones. Here is where you will find options for your morning cup of coffee (Nespresso/French Press) or tea and enjoy the panoramic ocean views. The kitchen opens into the dining and living room area which boasts vaulted ceilings with wood beams.
The Dining/Living Room:
The highlight of this space is the view of the water and here is where you can access the back covered porch and large uncovered patio. The vaulted ceilings and loads of natural light create the perfect space to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view. The heat pump is located in the living room so you can keep cool in the summer and cozy in the winter.
The Bedrooms:
The primary bedroom on the main level has a king bed with crisp white linens and a selection of king-sized pillows for your choosing. This bedroom features a window with water views so you can wake up to the ocean each morning.
The second bedroom on the main level is a child's dream and has a twin over double bunk bed with a twin pull out trundle. This room would be perfect for up to four kids (on all three levels) or two adults in the double bed (*see notes below). The vaulted ceilings in this space gives the kiddos on the top bunk plenty of room to move around.
The lower level bedroom is large and has a king bed with crisp white linens and a selection of king-sized pillows for your choosing. This space has a little nook with a bench and a large closet.
The Bathrooms:
On the main level you will find a full bathroom with a large walk-in shower complete with a eucalyptus bundle for a refreshing shower. On the lower level of the cottage you will find another full bathroom that is centrally located. Both bathrooms are stocked with the essentials that you may need during your stay.
The Family Room:
On the lower level you will find a cozy and bright family room with a large sectional where you can enjoy quality time with family and friends. We have a selection of puzzles and board games along with a smart TV that you can log into your favourite streaming services.
The Property:
The Vík has 600 feet of direct water frontage for your enjoyment. The large upper patio boasts beautiful ocean views from every angle and is where you will find a BBQ and a large outdoor sectional for your use in the summertime. The lower Oceanside patio has a 6 person salt water hot tub and space for you to take in the ocean views. During the summer season you will find an outdoor seating in this space as well. Stepping down into the yard, you will find an oceanside fire pit area that would be perfect for evenings of story telling and marshmallow roasting in the summer. Next to the fire pit you will find a set of steps into the bay that would be an ideal spot to launch the kayak or search for sea critters and treasures. The cottage also has a dock on the other side of the property that is perfect for afternoons of catch and release fishing.
**Dock, Kayaks, outdoor seating are available from May-October only - temperature depending
**A 3% per night Municipal Marketing Levy Tax is included in the listed nightly rates

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Thanh Phung
Hi, I'm Thanh! I am an entrepreneur and small business owner and a busy mom of two. I was born in Vietnam but spent my life growing up in Nova Scotia and my husband is Icelandic. We love to travel, cook (and eat) and be outside as much as possible as a family and love spending time at The Vík Cottage.
Why they chose this property
When we saw this log home on the ocean I had immediately fell in love with the ocean views and couldn't wait to get the keys to give it an interior refresh and make it feel like home. We named it The Vík (pronounced V-EEK in Icelandic) because it reminded us of the summer houses that would be scattered around the countryside during our visits to Iceland each summer to see family.
What makes this property unique
This property has 600 feet of direct ocean water frontage and a deep anchorage dock and a mooring that is ideal for avid boaters who want a place to dock their boats while staying at cottage.
